Visit Greater Dandenong City website for the official policy and any service updates.

Recycling rule worth knowing

Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.

Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.

Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Lyndhurst can send a whole truck to landfill, and Greater Dandenong City can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Why was my bin in Lyndhurst not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. Greater Dandenong City has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Are the bins different if I rent in Lyndhurst?

No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever Greater Dandenong City supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Lyndhurst households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
